The Super Destroyers vs Tony Stetson & Larry Winters
The Super Destroyers are supposed to be the monster heels of
the tag division, so seeing them selling for the weak offence of the face team
is really off-putting. Lots of hiptosses and armdrags to seemingly send these
big lads all over the place. We get a bit of heat on Stetson, but his hot tag
out sees no reaction from the crowd. Winters hits a nice kneelift and locks in
a figure four, but the other Destroyer brings in a cane from manager Hunter Q
Robbins III, and we get a DQ. Bad start
The Suicide Blondes vs JT Smith & Tommy Cairo
The Blondes are Johnny Hotbody and Chris Candido. Cairo is a
really frustrating character to watch – he can hit some really nice offence,
like the swank back suplex he hits in this match, but he seems mentally unable
to put together a good match. Here, he does dumb stuff like hold a headlock on
Hotbody whilst watching Candido come over and just punch him in the face. He
also hits really odd looking armdrags. Loved the diving elbow from the apron to
the concrete by Hotbody, looked like a rough landing. Candido was also great
here, and the Blondes stooged nicely for some of Cairo’s power offence. The end
sees Smith hit a moonsault on Candido, but Hotbody comes off the top rope to
the back of Smith’s head to give Candido the easy pin. Not terrible.
Jimmy Snuka & Don Muraco vs The Hellriders
Third tag bout in a row. Muraco wasn’t in great shape here, looked
pretty old and fat. Nothingabout this match felt competitive, no sense of
struggle from any combatant. Muraco seems to stumble on a discus clothesline
attempt, and when he misses a corner charge to allow the tag for the
Hellriders, he doesn’t bother with any selling. Muraco hits a tombstone and elevates
Snuka onto a Hellrider for the win. Pretty lame.
The Sandman vs Rockin’ Rebel
The only single bout on the show, the only match with back
story and a bout for the ECW title…is the only match joined in progress. So
stupid. Rebel dominates with some really good clotheslines, including one which
belted Sandman in the chin. Sandman takes over with some knees in the corner
and a shit facebuster, before Rebel’s manager Tigra gets involved to draw the
DQ. Unbelievable waste of time.
